Chapter 260

A sleek Mercedes screeched to a halt behind them. Before Devin could hear the rest of the conversation, he was already on his way over.

Joy jumped out of the driver’s seat, sporting a cheeky grin that screamed, “Gotcha, didn’t I?” She squinted her eyes and chuckled, “Hello there, my admirer.”

Devin almost choked on his own words, gnashing his teeth, “Leanne, didn’t we agree you

wouldn’t tell her?”

“I can’t betray my friend for you,” Leanne stated, her priorities clear. “I had to ask if she was even interested first.”

Strutting with an exaggerated swagger, Joy teased, “Come on then, let’s see how you plan to woo me today.”

Gritting his teeth, Devin muttered under his breath, “Woo you? I’ll woo you to death.”

He held his temper, turning to assist Leanne with the grace of a courtier attending to the queen, “Leanne, watch your step, there’s a stain.”

Leanne, feeling overly pampered, withdrew her arm, “I’m not a baby. Stop fussing over
